Lot of work recently on the Jeep. Had a new Flowmaster muffler and pipe installed yesterday. Immediately upon driving it out, I noticed the difference. Aside from the sound, I feel it more in terms of performance when driving down the highway. It's a hell of a lot smoother. I should've made this mod two years ago when I first bought this Jeep.



Don't know what the heck the previous owner was thinking!



Muffler specialist I always go to questioned this set up.



This looks like ***t!







Much better cleaner look.

Tired to figure out why my windows won't go up. I have checked everything. I think it's the main board.

98% done the light bar install, just have to tuck a wire, and put the center part of the dash back in. Now the wait for dark to test the job out. they are calling for a thunder storm this evening so it should be a good test of how moisture resistant the lights are.

I disassembled the cheap Amazon pods I bought last year and they were sealed wonderfully... big, thick, pliable rubber gaskets on both sides and silicone-rubber seals on the lenses... all I did was re-silicone the ends and put them back together, didn't really feel much need to add anything.

Another benefit of cheap lights is you're not out thousands of dollars when some jackwagon decides they need it more than you do.

I removed the plastic bumpers from the JK and added the steel Rubicon Hard Rock ones. Includes a steel skid plate up front to replace the plastic air dam:

Nice.

Installed my new MJ tail light boxes and added marine grade, submersible/waterproof trailer lights to them. Still have to shim the drivers side over a little. Then a pic of the Parking and Stop lights.

That is my intentions if they do fog up. I was going to do it before I put it on, but the hex head screws are not metric and I can not find my imperial set. I know I will find it right after I break down and buy a new set. I have the same problem with electrical tape and solder

For the rest of this week I am still in a small town. very few big item things go missing here because everyone knows everyone. This coming weekend I lose that small town security when I move to a small city. Before I move the XJ I plan on going and buying some security bolts and replacing the ones that came with the light bar.

13" blade and a 1/4" thick at the spine. Weights about 2 pounds and will cut through a 3" maple branch in one swing, or pry open a car door. Keep in mind when you say knife to a gun fight, I am in Canada so hand guns are a rarity.

Knife making is one of my many hobbies so I always have a couple of blades near by.

That's fine, if knives and security bolts makes you feel better, then please by all means...

ETA:
We were over at my farm today mowing, I found a used condom in the drive, yes there was and yes I deleted it.
I guess I'll have to let em know (Ewwwww!, LMAO):
